Gillian Wearing

Gillian Wearing (1963)

Synopsis

This exhibition catalog is a comprehensive retrospective of British conceptual artist Gillian Wearing, featuring over 100 illustrations and insightful essays. A prominent Young British Artist and Turner Prize winner in 1997, Wearing's work blurs the line between fact and fiction, drawing inspiration from documentary filmmaking and reality television. The catalog traces her exploration of identity, beginning with her 1992–93 project "Signs that Say What You Want Them to Say," and includes dramatized pieces like "Bully" (2010). Known for masking techniques to enhance emotional depth, her art challenges viewers to confront intimate aspects of human emotion and interaction.
